ebay or have one made at a marine upholstery shop

or simply drive down the highway where people drive with boats... you will find coolers, cushions, bimini tops, nets, PFD's rods, reels, etc. and the occasional outboard motor. most of my PFD's and throw cushions and two coolers were road-side pickups. that is why I secure everything in my boat.

Boats manufacturers almost immediately stop making replacement parts and you are left with locating new old stock or used parts. Good news is that Glastron is a dime a dozen boat and that their replacement parts would be in larger supply from the used market. My bet though for a cushion is that you will ultimately need an upholsterer to recreate that cushion as best as can be done. I always towed with a cover for this very reason.

probably gonna have to have one made at a canvas shop.I found someone local to me that does a great job and very reasonable.She did a mako cushion with zipper and snaps for $50 .You can try Greatlakeskipper on eBay.They carry just about anything you can imagine.Charlie

as an aside... probably best to be careful they are secured. Two summers ago, someone going the other direction on a two lane highway here lost a seat cushion ...when it hit the hood on my corvette at over 100 mph there was a momentary explosion of composite as it tore a large hole in the hood. Thankfully it bounced and just cleared the windshield... I tried to catch up with him, but a state trooper took a serious exception to how fast I was going once I got turned around... Thankfully he was sympathetic to the situation...
